MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Boy the new daretti kind of crushes any hope of a rakdos Walker in standard. Before you point out Kaya and Sorin as a counterpoint, understand there has now been 4 BW walkers spoiled since the last BR walker. Rakdos doesn't seem to be a combination wizards wants in standard, for walkers anyway.

So, if it works like the wild defiance interaction, spellskite with Leovold is U/2life: Draw a card when an opponents tries to target...Repeatably right?

Even though that daretti came out of nowhere, I really like how black interacts with artifacts here. The BUG guy looks pretty good in commander, locking opponents draws to 1 card is obnoxious with windfall effects. Both are very cool designed imo, hope foils arent't too expensive due to their mythicness.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.
Agreed, definitely, but really wish we got one that could go into more types of decks. And yeah, I remember having pretty much exactly the same feeling about Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas when they printed him. And then we waited A LOOOONG time for Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver.
If we have to wait another six years for the next PW, I'm setting the building on fire..
So, if it works like the wild defiance interaction, spellskite with Leovold is U/2life: Draw a card when an opponents tries to target...Repeatably right?
You need two spellskites to pull off that trick repeatedly. With only one Spellskite, you're not changing targets the second time and thus Leovold does not trigger, since nothing became a target.
I think leovold has potential to be one of the better 1v1 generals. Arguably the best colours and shutting off draws and cantrips is huge.
My daretti deck is probable my favorite EDH deck, too bad on the added black mana but still a solid planeswalker.

I'm enjoying the way that the Elf is a diplomat desk-jockey who seems to have the same physical stats as a Hill Giant.
Between him, Emmara Tandris being able to kill dragons with her bare hands, and great warriors like Eladamri and Radha dying in combat to bears, something is up with the elves of Magic.
Now that Leovold and the new Marchesa have been spoiled, I wonder if we're likely to get a whole new cycle of wedge-colored legends. Is there still space in the gold section to facilitate this?
I expect Leovold decks will autoinclude Rites of Flourishing, Dictate of Kruphix, Howling Mine, Font of Mythos, Temple Bell, and Mikokoro, Center of the Sea. Your opponents might draw a card off one of them, but that's it.

It starts in Kaladesh, the promo they previewed comes out after Kaladesh.
Was not expecting Daretti to be BR. I guess he doesn't like the new government?
He seems good, me likey!
Was not expecting a "random" BUG legend, either. He vaguely reminds me of Gaddock Teeg.

I mean this is just silly. Probably too strong.
He also just hoses draw engines that opponent's play, i.e. Phyrexian Arena, Staff of Nin
Just be sure to protect Leovold, Emissary of Trest with Kira, Great Glass Spinner and friends like Lightning Greaves.
What are some other cards that have good synergy with Leovold, Emissary of Trest?

No you got it wrong, Leovold is only against a monarchy if he is not in direct control of said monarchy. In short, Leovold is big business.

Also, is Tiny Leaders still a thing? Because this is what they've been looking for.
